Ever want to be in the movies

I been working in the movie business in SW PA for the past 2 years (part-time) and just wanted to tell you guys/gals that if you wanted to be on TV or the movies, it's actually quite easy. Directors are always looking for extras to walk around the scene, or set in a class room, or even be on the firing line of an FBI Scene like in Precinct 69, or even just stand in the background as a prison guard (which is what I did in the new NetFlix series Mind Hunter). You normally get paid around $100 per day plus free food and drinks, but most people get their start in Indie films where you just work for a film credit and free food. I started as a Weapons Master teaching actors how to hold and use firearms, but worked myself up to Producing for my last 3 projects. We always need people and I just recently got 10 people for a scene we are filming in Waynesburg on August 26th in the Greene County Courthouse for the final scene of the movie Night Zero.

If anyone has any questions, just ask. I'm involved in 3 feature length films in the next 12 months, so if you are really interested, I can probably get you on camera... but always remember the saying, you may end up on the cutting room floor.. I'm still waiting to see if my two scenes in the first episode of MindHunter will actually make the final cut.
